AVX film capacitors address inverters

AVX Corp. has introduced a line of polypropylene dielectric DC link film capacitors for DC power supplies and inverters used in solar power, electric drive, and industrial power systems.

The FB Series, the 2-leaded capacitors feature a voltage rating of 550-1200V, a capacitance range from 0.68-75uF, are RoHS compliant, and are available in a range of case sizes containing over 100 new ratings. Ideal

The FB Series DC link capacitors combine low loss film technology with the self-healing properties of the dielectric to ensure long lifetimes and low thermal losses in power applications. They also feature comprehensive capacitance/voltage ratings up to 1.2kV.

The film capacitors are rated from -40°C to +100°C, available in 14 case sizes with three standard lead pitch options: 27.5mm, 37.5mm, and 52.5mm. Average lead time is 15 weeks.
